TORONTO, March 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

GrowMax Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “GrowMax”) (TSX-V: GRO) announces that the share purchase agreement for the proposed acquisition of PrimaSea Holdings Ltd. (“PrimaSea”) has been terminated. As a result of the delays from the litigation by the activists and other factors, PrimaSea’s principals indicated to GrowMax that they did not want to continue with the agreement and, given that the outside date for completion under the agreement had passed, GrowMax agreed to the termination.

GrowMax reiterates its commitment to exploring a wide variety of value-enhancing initiatives, including acquisitions, accretive partnerships, and other growth strategies.

With its strong balance sheet, the Company is well-positioned to diligently seek out acquisitions that build value for shareholders. The management team and board of directors (the “Board”) have extensive M&A experience, have a wide breadth of experience in finance, sales, marketing, operations, and natural resources, and are fully-qualified to explore the many opportunities, in a variety of sectors, available to the Company.

As a result of the termination of the PrimaSea agreement, both the PrimaSea transaction and the related proposed consolidation of GrowMax shares will not be voted upon at GrowMax’s upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on Friday, March 8, 2019.

GrowMax also announces that John Van Brunt has resigned from the Board and will not be standing for re-election at the Meeting.
